Commonly, related Pokémon will have similar base stats, though distributed differently. This is one main difference between the two or more branches of a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|split evolutionary line]]. For example, while {{p|Gardevoir}}'s base stats for Attack and Special Attack are 65 and 125, respectively, its counterpart {{p|Gallade}}'s Attack and Special Attack stats have inverted values. | Commonly, related Pokémon will have similar base stats, though distributed differently.

Usually, the Pokémon with the highest total base stats are often banned from tournaments. This is because those who have the highest stats are always [[legendary Pokémon]], with few exceptions (such as {{p|Slaking}}, whose base stat average is on par with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}). Pokémon of a higher [[evolution]]ary stage will also usually have higher base stats than those of a lower one, and always will have higher stats than those of their pre-evolved counterparts. | Usually, the Pokémon with the highest total base stats are often banned from tournaments.
